(Muffins cooling on top of the refrigerator - if our dog, Kaya, aka "food stealer", can get these, nothing is safe!)

Yet another way to add kale (or other Brassica greens) to an otherwise unsuspecting recipe! You and your family will be curious about these "green specks" but will not have any possible objections to the taste of these delicious, colorful, and ultra-healthy muffins. Serve for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks. :-)

I stumbled upon your site here and have enjoyed reading all about you. Wishing you lots of luck with your health. We grew kale for the first time this year and am trying to figure out how to use some of it. This recipe is a stealer, for sure and I definitely try it. My husband and I love this type of muffin. I can add our own organically grown carrots, too..Thanks so much for sharing.....You can look at my blog, if you have time and discover some of the gardening we do as well.

Hi JT and the Boys!So glad you also stumbled your way to my kale blog. There is so much to do with kale and all of its relatives that my mouth is watering just thinking about the great recipes on this blog. Have fun working your way through them and creating your own, too! Feel free to enjoy the recipes on my website www.CancerRD.com and my www.dianadyer.com blog, too!Diana

The Apple Kale Spice Muffins are delicious! My husband and I have been eating them all week. We have been following Dr. Furhman's Eat for Health and this recipe was a perfect match for our new nutritarian diet. I will try more of your recipes and am happy to have found your blog!

Oh my gosh! These sounds sooo-licious! I'm going to have to make these with the kale I'm growing. All I really need now is some fresh w.w. flour and yogurt. I'm so excited about this recipe, thank you for posting this! :) Btw, I'm looking forward to browsing your blog, you're a find! :D

Oh Yum! So happy to have found your blog! Thanks for sharing this rtasty ecipe. I made them the other day, they are very moist, very delicious, and just perfect! I hope to post a blog about these muffins, and share a link to your site. Thanks again!Nancy

I make these all the time for my 3-year old and 18-month old. Recently my 9-month old nieces came over and were looooving these, too! I substitute applesauce for 1/2 the oil. I've also played around with the veggies- sometimes I use spinach and I've added pumpkin or sweet potatoes. They always turn out delicious!

I stumbled upon this after deciding to try out kale and wanting something that my 2 year old and husband would like. This fit the bill. I made them as mini muffins, yield 36, and barely got 3 to myself. The husband and boy went crazy for these. My son kept pointing to the container for more, more, more... Thanks so much for the delicious recipe!!

It's been a while since I made these myself, so with your enthusiastic thumbs up, I'll get some made and in our freezer for the days ahead when we are so busy on the farm that treats like this get moved to the back burner. I like the idea of the mini-muffins!Diana Dyer, MS, RD

Welcome to 365DaysofKale! by Diana Dyer, MS, RD

I'm a wife, mom, long-time organic gardener, new organic garlic farmer, Registered Dietitian, author of the book A Dietitian's Cancer Story, website CancerRD.com, and in between all that and more, I am a multiple time cancer survivor. My website focuses on nutrition information for cancer survivors. I began my "dianadyer" blog in June 2007 to share a wider scope of my thoughts about cancer survivorship, food, nutrition, gardening, recipes, our environment, and life.

I started this blog "365DaysofKale" in January 2009 in which I write about my passion for growing and eating kale. I hope that I can offer both information and inspiration to eat some kale or one of its healthy relatives every day of the year!
